You will now need to sign up for a Balance Rewards card to get sale prices. Signing up for a Balance Rewards card also gives you points back to use as cash on your next purchase. You can earn $5-$50! One major downfall of this program will be that the points cannot be earned the same way Register Rewards are; example: You earn $10 in points from a previous purchase. You go to the store later that week to use those $10 in points, but if you buy anything that also earns points, you will not get those points. They will not “roll” per say. You’ll earn nothing. So, you’re making a full purchase every other time you shop and use points. With that said, the points system does give some opportunity to get some really great deals, but I’m not sure it will last long.You can see more on the new Balance Rewards from Walgreens here.
